It is another rousing adventure w/ Georgiana discovering murders and whatnot. This time she is in Transylvania, home of the vampires and around every corner she is expecting to see a vamp lurking. This book is pretty fast paced w/ her crazy maid, the castle of horrors, and fears of vamps. I thought the best part of this book was that there was loads more Darcy. Man, I'd love to find a hott Irish man like Darcy!!! In Royal Blood,Georgie is off to a castle in Transylvania at the request of Queen Mary to represent the royal family at a wedding and to be a bridesmaid for the bride, Princess Maria. The wedding will join the royal families of Romania and Bulgaria, and Princess Maria has insisted that the ceremony take place in Castle Bran, former home to Vlad the Impaler. Georgie is happy to escape Rannoch House in London, as her brother and his disagreeable have arrived to spend the winter there. Georgie goes from dreary to gothic in her change of scenery, and Vlad's castle is everything a mythical vampire's castle promises to be. From a mysterious man climbing up the outside wall of the castle to a strange man showing up in Georgie’s bedroom at night and peering in at her while she tries to sleep, it's clear something unsettling is afoot. When a Bulgarian police chief is murdered, the few, including Georgie, in the know must try to keep his death quiet to avert a political crisis. Not only concealing a murder until it can be figured out has Georgie busy. She must also deal with a new maid she hired in London named Queenie, who is a red hot mess and possibily the worst maid ever. The brother of the bride, known to Georgie as Prince Fishlips has been trying to convince her that they would make a good marriage for their royal families. And, of course Darcy shows up, making any other man pale in comparison. In the middle of it all the wedding party becomes snowed in at the castle, and Queenie goes missing. It would seem Georgie's longing for adventure is fulfilled and then some.
